Science
Mechanism of Action
The extract works through a complex of bioactive phytocompounds, including coumarins, carbohydrates, and proteins. These components exert a multi-pathway effect by neutralizing free radicals, reducing inflammatory markers, and potentially inhibiting tyrosinase activity to manage melanin production, resulting in a more resilient and even-toned complexion.
